Patch yelp for new documentation homepage

Is that a change that will still happen in the -doc packages? If I press "F1" on the desktop, or just call "yelp", I get the Ubuntu Desktop Guide page, which seems alright. But then again, calling "yelp ghelp:gnome-help" and "yelp ghelp:ubuntu-help" currently leads me to the very same page; it would indeed make sense for "ghelp:gnome-help" to show the upstream documentation.

I attached a merge proposal, where I set Yelp's default to ubuntu-help.

I think it's getting a bit late in the release cycle for Yelp 3.2 to include a feature where the homepage changes based on the running desktop environment.

So assuming that ghelp:gnome-help is supposed to change, Jeremy's fix looks fine. I merged that into the packaging branch.

They aren't exactly identical. ubuntu-docs and gnome-user-docs in
oneriric are currently quite similar but that won't remain the case
for very long.

We will need to make a seeding change to remove gnome-user-docs for
the default install after this change is made and add it as a
dependency for the Gnome Shell packages (unless that is already the
case).

Yes, we're going to have Gnome Shell recommend gnome-user-docs. Unfortunately, Gnome Shell users will still get the Unity docs by default but I believe that's fixable, just might not be done for Oneiric.

One workaround would be to create an extra .desktop for Gnome Help, which could be what users want.

I unseeded gnome-user-docs now and will add it as a recommends to gnome-shell.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.1.3-0ubuntu3

  * debian/control.in: Add recommends to gnome-user-guide, so that installing
    Shell also pulls in the corresponding help. (LP: #819158)
